I have to comment that this is about bloody time if you'll pardon the expression. The activists have been flaunting videos taken in the 80s when the Canadian seal hunts really were brutal and bloody. In theyears since - the hunts have become much more humane and in reality are a necessary part of life in the Canadian North. Different countries have different ways. People need to read the facts before they blindly judge because Paul McCartney says they should.
